I would like to run multiple jobs (policies) in parallel.  Currently,
only one job will run at a time, and additional jobs will queue.

I'm running NB 6.0 MP4, by the way.

Tom

Hello Tom, 

The answer to question 1 depends on what you mean by multiple jobs per
filer. 

First of all are you looking to do multiple jobs in  parallel or just do
multiple volumes or qtrees. 

In the ndmp policy you can list multiple volumes or qtrees in the policy
with optional new stream statements. 

You can also define multiple policies with one or more volumes or qtrees
in each policy. 

So you could have policy-netapp1-vol0 /* for vol0 */
Then              policy-netapp2-vol1 /* for vol1 */
Or                policy-netapp2-vol-xyz /* for  flex vol xyz */

These names are just made up, but they should give you the idea. 

It all depends on what you want. 


I have not looked at  question 2 for a while, so with a fuzzy memory I
will say yes. Remember the netapp is doing the backup and it does not
know from netapp's fraq's. netbackup does have the netapp put netbackup
labels on the tape.

All,

Hopefully these are two quick and easy NDMP questions for the group:

1)  How do I enable multiple jobs per filer with NDMP?

2)  In a Dell tech doc, it specifies setting the max fragment size per
NDMP storage unit to 0.  Is that really the recommended setting?

Thanks much.
